I’m writing this post sitting in some lounge furniture in the early morning light at the Isla Holbox Fly Fishing Lodge on the Gulf of Mexico. When I was originally planning my trip down to Mexico I was set on heading south out of Cancun to the legendary Bonefish and Permit waters of Ascencion Bay but had a change of plans at the last minute when I was asked to go to a little Island to the north called Isla Holbox to shoot some photos. I had little chance to research the place before I left and just hoped for the best. What I discovered is one of the true gems of saltwater fly fishing.
